UNILORITES, DISCARD FEE HIKE RUMOUR!!!

UNILORITES, DISCARD FEE HIKE RUMOUR!!!

We want to use this platform to address the lingering rumour in the nation on the purported school fee hike as published recently that our university is part of the 38 schools to upgrade their school fee. In response to this unreasonable publication and rumour, we (Student Union) sought to debunk this news and hear what the University management of UNILORIN through the Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun has to say

"The attention of the management of the University of Ilorin has been drawn to news reports in some newspapers today lusting Unilorin among 38 universities that have increased their tuition fees.

We want to state categorically that  there is no iota of truth in the report. The university's management has never met to decide on any fees increase because we are still running the 2016/2017 academic session. And in any case, Unilorin, being a federal government institution doesn't charge tuition fees, as tuition is free in public universities. The little charges we collect are for utilities  and not for tuition.

So, that report was meant to cause unnecessary panic among Nigerian parents."

In line with the above statement, we want to advice our students not to panic as well debunk this false information.

As always, our determination remains unshakable.
